diagnosed with MS in 2011. still in the RRMS stage today.
first time i tried MMJ when having an MS attack, it was like a wet blanket of misery lifted off my entire body and i felt alive again. When using MMJ, my muscles seem to stabilize, my balance improves, and my attitude gets a lot better. your acquaintance will likely find that MMJ helps in several ways, although i've heard that results vary greatly from patient to patient.

i'd caution your acquaintance not to rely solely on MMJ though -- i doubt very much it addresses the underlying immune system problem in any way. i'm using Copaxone to address the underlying causes, because my insurance covers most of the cost. there are a number of new and very expensive drugs that can help; i'd recommend your acquaintance familiarize him/herself with them as well.
